Could you imagine an even more dangerous pick than Hagel for Secretary of Defense? Under Obama, yes. Worse is always what's next.

President Barack Obama said today he would nominate former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Republican, to be Secretary of Defense, and his top counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, to head the CIA. Astonishing. Obama is doing the full monty.

The president's CIA pick called jihad a "legitimate tenet of
Islam," arguing that the term "jihadists" should not be used to describe
America's enemies. During a speech at the
Center for Strategic and International Studies, John Brennan described violent
extremists as victims of "political, economic and social forces," but said that
those plotting attacks on the United States should not be described in
"religious terms."

White House pro-jihadist John Brennan speechifies in Arabic and has equated Muslim terrorists with shoplifters. Lawmakers have called for his firing (here).

Atlas readers are long familiar with the pro-jihadi thug Brennan. If you recall, during the 2008 presidential election, I ran a number of
stories on the breach of Obama's passport at the Department of
State. It bears noting that John O. Brennan, whom Obama first appointed to be Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, in which capacity he made his notorious and incredible pro-terror remarks, some in Arabic no less, about the beauty of jihad, was connected with the tampering with Obama's passport.

Back in March 2008,State Department employees had tampered with the passport files of Barack Hussein Obama. The State Department launched an investigation into allegations of improper computer access to Obama's passport records. The investigation was focusing on one employee — a contract worker with a company headed by an adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama (more here at The Washington Times).

Obama said at the time:

In Portland, Ore., Mr. Obama said the series of attempts to "tap into
people's personal records" were "a problem not just for me but for how
our government functions."

Laughable, considering how intrusive his administration has been and continues to be in accessing private information.

Officials do not know whether information was improperly copied, altered or removed from the database during the intrusions.

[...]

"As soon as we realized that there were these unauthorized
accesses for Senator Obama's passport files, we collected the
information, we briefed the secretary, we briefed Senator Obama's
staff, all before we ever replied to the reporter," Mr. McCormack said.
